Folk will happily pay $1200 for an iPhone yet are wanting a top end games console that will cater for all your entertainment needs for the next 7 years for under €500.
If you break it down, what we pay for a games console is fantastic value for money.
£40 for years subscription and 6 months in we already have had some awesome games.
Throughout the year, if we go with 24 games even though it's usually more, it works out at roughly £1.66 per game. If you don't think that's value then there's really no pleasing you.
This years games have been great so far. I don't get the criticism. We've had - all the Uncharted games, Bioshock: The Collection, Shadow of The Colossus, Sonic Forces, The Sims 4, Firewall Zero Hour, Dirt Rally 2.0, Farm Simulator, Cities Skylines and now COD WWII and Battlefront 2.
@DominatorV93 60 bucks isn't nothing, I agree. What I was saying is when you work out what you are actually paying for the games, it's nothing - approx $2.50 per game.
It may have been a huge game at the time, made by a huge developer but it's 3 years old and it's multiplayer is almost dead. The game is 90% an online game, which basically makes it pointless.
Those moaning about last months games - this is worse (so far).
An old COD is a poor choice for a PS Plus game, almost the same as giving us a 3 year old sports game. Very little playability in a predominantly multiplayer game that was released the best part of 3 years ago.
Can't win them all and, so far, this month is definitely not a winner (in my opinion).
I will honestly give anything a go, I basically have the same open mind to gaming that I have to music. If it's good, it's good regardless of what it is. I've been playing Farming Simulator since it got given out. It's fricking awesome, it really is. Pleasantly surprised by how many hours I've put into it.
These folk do realise that they can unsubscribe, right. Or an even crazier idea - don't download the games.
What about the people who are looking forward to these games, me included, have we just to be forgotten so the entitled can get what they want?
We get at least 24 games a year. Most games are worth, in the region of 15-25 bucks. So for our £50 a year subscription we're getting over £350 worth of games. It's a great deal, even if there's a couple of games we don't like.
I don't think this will be the lineup. Both games in the same(ish) kind of genre doesn't usually happen.
Dying Light is a great game but not really too appealing.
Dark Souls I'd be interested to try as I've never played.
For me Dark Souls and a lighter game maybe pushed more towards kids - since they're stuck at home on lockdown - and it be a good month.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Will Look Better on PS5 At Launch, Will Get a Free Next-Gen Update in 2021
@Craigsouthern @Lonejester
I mean, whether it's the disc or the digital version of the console is irrelevant.
The update will be downloaded onto the system and applied to the game just like every other game update.

Re: Sony's Sending Out Yet Another Wave of PS5 Emails
It will cost between 5 and 6 hundred bucks.
It will be out between November and December.
It will be awesome.
Re: Free PS Store Credit Was Sent to a Small Number of PS Plus Subscribers
@Andgiles Hahaha.
Re: PS Plus August 2020 PS4 Games Announced
Wow. What a dreadful month.
Re: Talking Point: What Free August 2020 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
We've not had a good old farm simulator for a while.

Re: Sony Commits to Smaller Games on PS5 and PS4 with PlayStation Indies Initiative
Indy games do nothing for me. They are enlarged mobile phone games.
Re: PS Plus July 2020 PS4 Games Announced
Fantastic month for me. Don't own any of these titles so I am pleased.
Call of Duty aside, this year's games have been excellent.
Re: Poll: What Is Your Preferred Game Length?
We are paying top dollar for AAA games, they should be worth it.
If you expect me to pay £50 for a game then I expect more than 3 days gameplay from it.
Re: PS5 Preorder Price Is $699 on Play-Asia, Has Fans Praying It's a Placeholder
£586 would be reasonable and I'd be happy to pay that.
I mean, people are paying £1000+ for a mobile phone, paying under £600 for a high end games console is good value.
Re: Can You Name These PS1 Games?
5/15, I am officially a plonker!
I still own a PS1, maybe I'll try pick up some of these games.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for June 2020?

We've had -
all the Uncharted games, Bioshock: The Collection, Shadow of The Colossus, Sonic Forces, The Sims 4, Firewall Zero Hour, Dirt Rally 2.0, Farm Simulator, Cities Skylines and now COD WWII and Battlefront 2.

Re: Talking Point: Will You Be Buying The Last of Us 2?
"Will you purchase Last of Us 2?"
...200 furious comments about grammar and killing virtual dogs.
Btw, no, I will wait for it to sale.
Re: All PS Plus June 2020 PS4 Games Officially Announced
Not in the least bit interested in COD but I will definitely give Star Wars a go.

Re: Rumour: Second June 2020 PS Plus PS4 Game Leaked Early
@DominatorV93 We pay 50 bucks a year for 24 games. We are paying almost nothing for these games.
Re: PS Plus June 2020 PS4 Game Announced
Those saying it's AAA, really?

AAA means nothing.

Re: PGA Tour 2K21 Tees Off This Year, Full Reveal on 14th May
Will have to be very good to compete with Golf Club 19, which has fantastic gameplay.
If it has the licensing of Tiger Woods and the gameplay of GC19 then I would be very happy.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for May 2020?
I personally am looking forward to these games. Something different to try.
This year has been excellent so far so we can't complain. I'd rather have these games than some indie crap.
Re: PS Plus May 2020 PS4 Games Confirmed
Last few months have been excellent, can't win them all.
Re: PS Plus May 2020 PS4 Games Announced
@GoblinKing86 We pay £50 a year for 24 games, that's a pretty good deal in my opinion.
Two months worth of games pays back the subscription.

Re: Did You Know There's An Easy Way to Turn Off Your PS4 Controller?
Watching movies or Netflix is probably the only time you'd use it.
